My 1st Handmade Chicken Egg Cosy


Well here it is, my first attempt at an Egg cosy.





It was made using a mixture of machine and hand sewing. I made it from various coloured felts from hobbycraft and some thick curtain fabric from Ikea. The pattern I used was from my Cath Kidston Sew book.

The chicken design I did myself just by cutting out the shapes from felt and trimming them till it resembled something like a hen. The inside is all lined with felt to keep my eggs toasty warm.

I quite enjoyed making this so will be making a few more. I do like the idea of having a handmade functional item rather than just decorative like my dolls tend to be.
